You can create a sworn affidavit that says you suspected someone did something evil. It's a true statement that doesn't prove someone did something evil.
But do they show the rape scenes, or do they merely discussed that they happened?

As I find that a great deal of violence is often shown rather than merely referenced, but rape never is. This also seems to apply to The Practice, with which I am more versed.

Well, they apparently do move markets. Whether that's good or bad remains to be seen and there's no telling what sort of action the SEC will take to curtail this. IMO all it will take is one bad day to have something happen. But wsb does understand one thing: the barriers to entry are artificially there - it doesn't take a quant with an MIT education to make and lose money.
Pretty good analysis, but I don't know if I agree with some of the final lines. Hard to see this as a "Molotov cocktail through the front window of the country and the global financial system". I mean they are literally playing by the rules of the financial system. This isn't Occupy Wall Street, or anything close to that. Sure, I get that they will declare bankruptcy and move on, but ultimately the major players of the global financial system are happy if people are buying stocks, win or lose.

But SSN should not really intended to be secret. It is not designed to be a proof of identity, but so many companies have treated it that way that it gives more access than it should. If we could prevent companies from using it like a password, it would no longer be a major risk to have it exposed.
I highly suspect the reason for this is because there is less income security for the young generation in 2021 compared to 1999.

In 1999, people under 40 were gambling large sums that, if lost, could be made back through x months of work.

In 2021, people under 40 are gambling any random ad hoc payment they receive in the attempt of calling it a career.

The reason? 10% of our country have great jobs, and the rest have none. That is a result of policy.
It's much worse than that--those people who are, shall we say, misaligned with the truth impose consequences for others. Especially when those people are in prominent positions in government and culture.

I think it would require someone to fly a spy sat up near one of the SpaceX sats. From the ground the atmosphere would attenuate the signal too badly and you'd only have visibility for a few minutes at a time as it passes overhead maybe.

In practical terms I don't think it's a major concern. Much more likely that the spy agencies would tap the lines coming out of the ground stations.
Ask HN: Is being able to bypass 2FA on PayPal a security vulenrability?
Our account had some unusual login attempts on it, which triggered us needing 2FA to login each time.

I found a pretty easy way to bypass this, and reported the issue to Paypal on HackerOne.

I was told that "the reported behavior is intended" and they are closing the issue as informative.

A week on and the issue appears to be fixed.

Granted the way I found to bypass it was rather trivial, and I'm no expert. Am I right in thinking this is a legitimate security issue?

The narrative of GME has been building for weeks before any news coverage happened. This isn't the first stock to blow up from WSB, but there are a few others in past weeks (none that have reached GME levels) such as BB, PLTR, and previously ABNB (whatever new stock that has IPO'd).

There are a handful of users that have $1M positions (some smaller ones, like a user that reported $250k into $7M, back down to $4.2M). Collectively, the community appears to drive hype towards different stocks based on flimsy things.

Without a doubt there's HFT (High frequency trading) happening, but these social communities are having an impact.

That said, Android seems to be doing better outside the US than in the US.

I wouldn't be very surprised if US revenue was dominant within the Android BU (or whatever they call it today).

Last time I heard (probably outdated) there were at least 2 billion non-US Google Play devices active; compared to the 120 million US Google Play devices figure that's widely available.

Also: Wouldn't surprise me if Google makes more from licensing the Google Play store to non-US markets than they do from the Google Play sales revenue globally.
What I think the whole housing debate revolves around is not really about living standards, or even economics, but morality. Advocates of housing reforms such as the ones you list are outright opposed to the fact that housing is market price–determined by supply and demand, the same as the price of apples or lumber or a barrel of oil. And it is for that reason, rather than the practical details, that the broader political movement of which the demand for it is the leading edge is ultimately doomed to failure: For the amorality of the market economy is part of its essence, and cannot be legislated away.

Rent control for instance causes a decrease in the supply of housing. People in Stockholm are on 12 year waiting lists for apartments because rent control has reduced the amount of housing available. Simply telling people it's not a commodity will not make it cease to function like one.

Nonsense. There are hundreds of DC-3s still flying with 1200hp Twin Wasp radials. Service life of aviation engines is essentially infinite - they just keep rebuilding ‘em.

The Russian ASH-62 is still in production, and depending on spec can produce as much as 1100hp.

Mean age of admission to ICU is 59.8

45% of the people admitted to ICU are under the age of 60.

88% of people admitted to ICU were able to live with no assistance in day to day life before being admitted.

Most people admitted did not have very severe comorbidities (cardio, respiratory, renal, livel, metastatic, haematological malignancy, immunocompromised).

Generally, US horror is more "realistic" than Japanese horror.

It is common for US horror movies to be "based on a true story", featuring serial killers that could be real life criminals. It is scary because it is not just a story, it is real life, and you are not safe.

Japanese stories are more into the supernatural. They don't try to scare you by making things look as real as possible, instead they mess with your mind, trying to make you accept things that obviously fictive as genuinely threatening.

This is just a general trend of course, the west also has its fair share of ghost stories too, and Japan has its deranged killers.

My guess is that culture, in particular religion has something to do with it. The Japanese have a rich supernatural world to tap into, full of ghosts and spirits. Westerners essentially wiped that off in favor of an almighty god, where evil come from human with corrupted souls rather than from supernatural entities.

Interesting take - especially the tie in to other internet culture.

I would say that the thread rewards ridiculous behavior by the upvote dopamine loop (small but some level of street cred in the subreddit).

There's nothing nonsense about it. These big firms have billions on the line and are interested in protecting it. WSB is a comedy outlet where active posters are at least in the high end of hobbyist traders, and they realized that some very greedy short selling left an opening for a decent buck. The vast majority of Robinhood's userbase couldn't even come close to explaining to you the mechanism through which this happened, let alone know when it's happening elsewhere and how to enter and exit. Nobody there has any delusions that they would be able to take on a large firm if the large firm was able to hit back.

Markets and the choices you make them in can be incredibly complex. Most people don't have the time and drive to deal with that, no matter how much you "democratize" the technology.
> Much more likely that the spy agencies would tap the lines coming out of the ground stations

Which is a significant step backwards for e.g. Russia.

Currently, all data between Asia and North America runs on cables. Anybody can spy on those. If those data did satellite laser hops, only those with ground stations would have access. Everyone else gets locked out.
Not good indeed. But better than "poor people decide".

I went pretty deep down this rabbit hole for a while.

I've always been suspicious of eye doctors since every visit they find an excuse to bump you up a notch or two.

Anecdotally, me and my brother had the same prescription in high school. I started refusing to go to the eye doctor. He kept going. I happened to see his contacts prescription maybe six years later. His prescription was now over a diopter stronger than mine. I needed new contacts, so went to an exam about that time. My prescription was still the same, "Well we'd like to bump you up a notch, but you can stay at this level if you want."

Further, I noticed growing up that the kids with the worst eyesight were the ones whose parents had the best insurance and could afford twice per year exams.

Anyway, I think glasses do irreparable harm to vision (particularly during adolescence). I think that will be borne out by research if anyone ever looks into it.

The myopia correction exercises do seem to help, but it's a fickle process. If it was easy it wouldn't be controversial.
I would describe my experience as your baseline vision stays roughly the same, but you can learn to focus for short periods
of time and improve your acuity by maybe 1 - 2 diopters.

chatops deploys aren't really new toys, a place I was at was doing them around 2013/14.

We liked it because the chat history you see is essentially a deploy history, no need to login into some other website to check some obscure logs page to see who did what. We did end up having to debug the service that processed the chat messages maybe once, but never ran into an issue when we had to deploy a hotfix.
